We believe in the power of ingenuity to build a positive human future.

As strategies, technologies and innovation collide, we create opportunity from complexity.

Our diverse teams of experts combine innovative thinking and breakthrough use of technologies to progress further, faster. Our clients adapt and transform, and together we achieve enduring results.

An innovation and transformation consultancy, we are over 4000 specialists in consumer and manufacturing, defence and security, energy and utilities, financial services, government and public services, health and life sciences, and transport. Our people are strategists, innovators, designers, consultants, digital experts, scientists, engineers and technologists.

We operate globally from offices across the UK, US, Netherlands and Nordics.

Are you passionate about helping energy and utilities organisations design, develop and deploy sophisticated and innovative solutions? We help our clients protect themselves and critical infrastructures from cyber incidents and ensure a safe and secure energy transition.

The energy system is rapidly changing as we transition to Net Zero. There is a dramatic increase in the use of interconnectivity and smart technologies to manage our energy system. Whilst this has many benefits it increases the susceptibility of the energy system to cyber attack. All this is happening at a time when both our existing and future energy infrastructures are facing an ever increasing threat.  

We bring a rich mix of insight and expertise to our clients’ challenges by combining our knowledge and experience across energy, utilities and wider critical national infrastructures. Our priority is to build lasting partnerships with our clients.

Every organisation wants to improve the way it works and make best use of new technology.  Today that means use of digitisation, automation, and artificial intelligence to harness efficiencies and new routes to users.  All of this needs to be done in a way that ensures cyber resilience of our critical infrastructures and protects individuals’ data. As we grow our Cyber Transformation capability, we are looking for dynamic and compelling individuals who can help clients understand the potential benefits of trusted digitisation enabled by digital trust and good cyber security.
